WEBVTT ED: TIME NOW FO TODAY'S OTR POLITICAL ROUNDTABLE. JOINING US NOW IS MARY ANNE MARSH AND ROB GRAY. THIS IS LIKE TELEVISION DAY TODAY. YOU NOT ONLY HAVE THE PATRIOTS, BRADY RETURNING, THE RED SOX PLAYOFF GAME, AND DEBATE NUMBER TWO. RANK THEM FOR ME PLEASE. WHAT DO YOU THINK, IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE? MARY ANNE: FOR ME, POLITICS PURSED. -- FIRST. HE HAD TO HAVE POLITICS FIRST. ONE, BECAUSE IF TRUMP WINS, IT WILL BE THE END OF THE WORLD, SO NO MORE SPORTS. TWO, IT IS LIKE OXYGEN FOR ME, AND I'VE KNOWN ABO POLITICS , MY FATHER GAVE ME A BASEBALL GLOVE THE DAY I WAS BORN. ROB: I HAVE THE CHIPS AND THE BEER READY. I THINK YOU HAVE TO GO DEBATE, RED SOX, BRADY. IT IS THE PLAYOFFS. JANET: THEY AGREE, LET'S REMEMBER THAT. TONIGHT'S DEBATE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. IT'S A TOWN HALL STYLE. WHO GETS THE ADVANTAGE FROM THIS FORMAT? ROB: I THINK IT IS TRUMP. HE IS MORE NATURAL DEALING WITH PEOPLE, HAS BEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL MORE. HILLARY CLINTON IS LIKE THE ANTI-BILL CLINTON WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH PEOPLE. SHE CAN COME OFF AS UNCOMFORTABLE, SHE CAN COME OFF AS PATRONIZING OF THE QUESTIONER . SHE HAS TO LOOK OUT FOR THAT. JANET: DOES SHE HAVE A HARDER ROAD TO HOE HERE? MARY ANNE: I HAVE TO DISAGREE. SHE HAS BEEN DOING TOWN HALLS FOR YEARS. SHE ACTUALLY EXCELS IN SMALLER SETTINGS. DONALD TRUMP, THE PROBLEM FOR HIM, IF HE TREATS ONE OF THE QUESTIONERS IN THE AUDIENCE LIKE THE KHA OR NEARLY SO MUCH ADO, THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT OF HIS CAMPAIGN. ED: THAT IS WHERE I WANT TO GO NEXT. YOU HAVE THE CANDIDATES, THE MODERATOR. NOW YOU HAVE GOT THE AUDIENCE. MARY ANNE: THAT IS THE PROBLEM FOR DONALD TRUMP. ED: WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WILL BRING? MARY ANNE: HOPEFULLY, REAL QUESTIONS AND REAL PEOPLE. YOU WILL SEE HILLARY CLINTON AND DONALD TRUMP. IF HE FLIPS UP AND ATTACKS ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONERS, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS THAT HURT HIM, THIS WILL. ED: WHAT IS YOUR READ ON THE ADDITIONAL DYNAMIC OF THE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONER? ROB: RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS A HIGH WIRE RACK. HE GOT SHIPPED ON MY MEDIA PEOPLE. REAL PEOPLE IS AN ADDED CHALLENGE FOR THESE CANDIDATES. JANET: IS THERE A QUESTION THAT YOU WOULD LOVE TO BE ASKED THAT HAS NOT BEEN ASKED YET? MARY ANNE: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS PERSONAL FOR MOST VOTERS, BUT MOST PEOPLE HAVE NOT ASKED THAT QUESTION. ED: OB JUST SAID THAT MEDIA PEOPLE ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE. JANET: LET'S GO TO BILL WELD. OUR LIBERTARIAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, OUR FORMER GOVERNOR. HE IS INSERTED HIMSELF INTO THE PARTY FRAY. CAN THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN NOVEMBER? MARY ANN NO, HE IS GETTING OFF THE TITANIC BEFORE IT SINKS. IF TRUMP WINS, HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE IS NOT LINKED FOR IT. BILL WELD IT IS FOR BILL WELD AND NO ONE ELSE. RO I THINK I SAID, AND MARIANNE SAID A FEW MONTHS A, WHEN PEOPLE SAID, WILL THEY GET TO 50% AND BE A PLAYER IN THE RACE? WE SAID NO, AND ANSWER TODAY IS STILL NO. IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT HE IS CHANGING. IF ANYTHING, THEIR INTENT IS NOT WORKING OUT, THEY ARE SPLITTING VOTES OFF FOR HILLARY CLINTON. ED CAMERA'S MEN CAPUANO PREFER THAT THE TICKET BE FLOPPED. MARY ANNE: I DON'T KNOW IF BILL WELD WOULD HAVE DONE ANY BETTER. HE LOST THE SENATE RACE, HE LOST THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN NEW YORK. ROB: GAS IN A TANK OF POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS IS MONEY. IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY, YOU DON'T HAVE GAS IN THE TANK. EVEN IF BILL WAS ON TOP, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY. ED: THE VOICE OF ELIZABETH WARREN SEEMS TO BE ECHOING LOTTERY AND LATTER AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE ELECTIONS. >> DONALD TRUMP THINKS IT IS SMART FOR HIM NOT TO PAY ONE DIME. WHAT KIND OF A MAN DOES THAT? A SELFISH, LITTLE SLEAZE BALL WHO WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. ED: THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM MASSACHUSETTS JUST SAID OF A PRESIDENT A CANDIDATE, HE IS A SELFISH, LITTLE SLEAZE BALL WHO WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. MARY ANNE: SHE IS RIGHT. ELIZABETH MORAN SAYS WHAT SHE MEANS AND MEANS WHAT SHE SAYS. IT DRIVES HIM CRAZY, AND THAT IS THE THING WITH ELIZABETH WARREN. SHE CAN SAY THINK OTHERS CANNOT SAY AND GET AWAY WITH IT. ED: WILL SHE BRING OUT THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE, WHICH CLINTON NEEDS? RO SHE WILL NOT. THE LIMITED APPLAUSE AFTER THAT SHOWS YOU THE PROBLEM. GETTING THESE PROGRESSIVE BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS OUT FOR HILLARY CLINTON IS LIKE PULLING TEETH. THEY HAVE TO BE MOTIVATED ON THEIR OWN. THEY ARE NOT MOTIVATED BY HILLARY CLINTON. MARY ANNE: THEY ARE MOTIVATED BY FEAR OF DONALD TRUMP. JANET: BILL CLINTON SHOCKINGLY ADMITTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OBAMACARE. 20 MILLION MORE PEOPLE HAVE HEALTH CARE AND THEN SOME PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE BUSTING 60 HOURS A WEEK LINED UP WITH THEIR PREMIUMS DOUBLED AND THE COVERAGE CUT IN HALF. IT'S THE CRAZIEST THING IN THE WORLD. JANET: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? RO BILL CLINTON IS TELLING THE TRUTH FOR ONE THING, WHICH IS MAKING DEMOCRATS UNCOMFORTABLE. HE WAS THE X FACTOR FOR HILLARY CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN. THEY WANTED TO KEEP THEM IN THE BOX. GENERALLY, THEY HAD DONE A GOOD JOB OF THAT, BUT THIS IS A SLIPUP. MARY ANNE: BOTH BILL CLINTON AND HILLARY CLINTON HAVE SAID OBAMACARE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. MOST DEMOCRATS A THAT AS WELL. GIVEN THE AUDIENCE HE IS SPEAKING TO, THAT IS RIGHT. COULD HE HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB OF IT? SURE. ED: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATE RACE. KELLY AYOTTE HAD A FUN DEBATE AGAINST GOVERNOR MAGGIE HASSAN. SHE WAS ASKED IF DONALD TRUMP IS GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR CHILDREN HERE IS WHAT SHE SAID. WOULD YOU POINT TO DONALD TRUMP AS A ROLE MODEL? CERTAINLY, THERE ARE MANY ROLE MODELS WE HAVE, AND I BELIEVE HE CAN SERVE AS PRESIDENT, SO ABSOLUTELY. ED: LET ME SAY TWO THINGS. I THINK SHE WAS HESITANT GIVING THE ANSWER, AND THEN SECONDLY, SHE SAID SHE MISSPOKE. MARY ANNE: SHE HAD TO THE VIEWER CHANCES TO CLEAN UP IN THE DEBATE AND SHE DIDN'T. THREE HOURS LATER WHEN SHE REALIZE THE HUGE MISTAKE SHE MADE, AND SHE HAS BEEN CHECKED TO CLEAN UP EVER SINCE. SHE SPOKE THE TRUTH AND WILL PAY A PRICE FOR IT. ROB: HUGE MISTAKE. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF SAYING NO. SHE HAS A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN STILL, BUT THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE.
